Since his own son was locked in the house, Mr. Radley blamed a Negro for trespassing. Blacks were frequently blamed, by whites, to be the nondescript culprit hiding in the shadows of their property at night. This of course was a bigoted assumption but that was the mindset of many whites in the South during this time.
